Weeknotes

This week as been a mixed emotions week. Sadness with departing collogues but also a week of positive productivity. What I’ve been doing Writing scripts to take inventory of customer environments. Financial modelling. All feels very 2021. What I’ve been thinking about Habits - and what’s my next nudge? After reading the famous Atomic Habits I periodically make small adjustments to my daily routines to add in new things I want to do. Most of the time this is things that take me 10-20 minutes a day, like Duolingo or changing my breakfast, other times this is bigger things like buying a treadmill. I’m starting to think about what’s list of small changes I want to do and over what time frame. More on this in future weeknotes I think. ...

Spent some time going deep on a customers cloud environment. Felt great to be doing this again (albeit briefly), like putting on an old pair of shoes. ...

What I’ve been doing There have been some high-profile leavers this week (which I can’t publicly discuss) but it has shaken the office a little, it’s also meant lots of internal networking. ...

Trying something new, not sure if it will stick, might delete later. I’ve been going on a bit of deep dive of trying to push more of my thoughts, ideas, resources and other random half-baked things out into the universe to see if anyone else gets value from them and that’s when I came across the idea of weeknotes . Not sure if it’ll work or not and it’ll have a very different tone than my usual blog posts, so let’s see. ...
